Ritchie's Story

Meet Ritchie Rich <br/>Adopt Ritchie<br/><br/>Ritchie may not be the kind of dog who wows you in the first five minutes-but give him a little time, and you'll see the real Ritchie: a total love nugget with a heart of gold. <br/><br/>Ritchie is a 40-50 lb Australian Kelpie mix who came to us from Bibb County Animal Control. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people (especially men), but once he knows you, his affectionate, silly side shines through. He's especially fond of the ladies-our volunteer Debbie walks him often and swears he's absolutely perfect. If her house wasn't already full, Ritchie would be snuggled on her couch by now!<br/><br/>Ritchie's the kind of pup who needs a few leash walks and slow intros to build trust. He's not going to run into your arms on day one-but the bond you'll build with him is the kind that lasts a lifetime. He's treat motivated, so making friends with him comes with sweet bribes and tail wags.<br/><br/> Ritchie's favorite things:<br/><br/>Long walks and hiking adventures<br/><br/>Kisses (once he knows you)<br/><br/><br/>Snacks. So many snacks.<br/><br/>He's neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a patient, kind human who will give him the time he needs to blossom.<br/><br/>Ritchie may not show well in the shelter, but trust us-he's a hidden gem. If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances, quiet connections, and letting love grow slowly and beautifully... Ritchie is waiting for you.<br/><br/> Ready to meet your hiking buddy and secret sweetheart?<br/> Apply to adopt Ritchie<br/><br/>Ritchie Rich is Pets for Patriots approved: https://www.petsforpatriots.org/forget-me-not/ritchie-rich-ga/
